FOLSOM, CA (MPG) - In nineteenth century, France, Jean Valjean is released from years of unjust

imprisonment but finds nothing in store for him but mistrust and mistreatment. He breaks his parole in hopes of starting a new life, initiating a lifelong struggle for redemption as he is relentlessly pursued by police inspector Javert, who refuses to believe Valjean can change his ways. Finally, during the Paris student uprising of 1832, Javert must confront his ideals after Valjean spares his life and saves that of the student revolutionary who has captured the heart of Valjean’s adopted daughter.

Rated PG-13, Les Misérables is coming to Folsom on Saturdays and Sundays from Aug. 28 to Sept. 27. Photo courtesy of Sutter Street Theatre.
